Abstract: To save weight and space and reduce costs in a vehicle, a multi-functional apparatus is used in place of a plurality of single-function devices. The multi-functional apparatus employs a single electromagnetic device to selectively actuate a plurality of intermittent motion mechanisms, thereby operating mechanical devices attached thereto. In a specific example a reversible dc electric motor (51) selectively drives a rear window wiper (45) via a transmission (55, 59), a clutch (99, 111) and a driven shaft (121). By rotating the transmission member (59) beyond the rotational range for operating the wiper, drive to the wiper is disengaged and a locking mechanism (201, 221, 223, 235, 243) for the rear window or liftgate can also be actuated by the rotating transmission member (59). In another aspect of the present invention, a single electric motor selectively actuates three intermittent motion mechanisms thereby causing three mechanical devices coupled thereto to operate (e.g. rear window and liftgate locking mechanisms and a window wiper).

Abstract: A paint drying oven for baking a paint film of a painted article for drying following a painting process. In a combustion type heating device for use in a conventional oven, combustion gas still holding a great quantity of heat which has just its heat exchanged with circulating air in an in-oven circulation air path is discharged outside the system, thus causing a great heat loss. In the present invention, air (PA) sent out from an air path (ip) inside a radiation means (7) is branched off a location of a radiating circulation air path (20) upstream of a connecting point of a fresh air path (18a) with the radiating circulation air path (20) and a branch air path (21) is provided for mixing this branched-off air (PA'') with circulation air (RA) in an in-oven circulation air path (9a). Thus, the provision of this branch air path (21) can make it possible for a radiating combustion type heating device (19a) to function also as an in-oven heating means (Ha), and therefore the problem inherent in the prior art can be solved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A transmission, particularly an agricultural tractor transmission, has a creep gear facility whereby speeds under 0.5km per hour are possible without slipping a clutch. Planocentric gearing (20) is used for the creep gear, selectively clutchable into the transmission by means of a dog clutch (31). The planocentric gearing comprises an input eccentric (32) which runs inside an inner ring member (33) carrying external gear teeth (34). The inner ring (33), in use, oscillates within an outer ring (36) having interior gear teeth (35) with which the exterior teeth (34) mesh at one point at any given time. Pins (38) are mounted on the inner ring (33) which are received in apertures (47) in a stationary reaction member (44). The oscillating motion of the inner ring (33) is transferred to the outer ring (36) as rotation, at a reduced speed from the input, giving a reduction ratio of 10:1 or higher in a single stage. The direction of the drive is preserved from input to output. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of controlling a welding power source and the associated wire feed arrangement intended for arc welding operations that employ a consumable electrode, to ensure crater filling at the end of the welding operation by means of fading of the arc voltage and of the wire feed rate, respectively. More particularly the invention relates to a method comprising arc voltage reduction at the onset of the end of the welding operation for a period that is considerably briefer than the total fading time, during which the arc voltage is reduced to a value below the value at which it is possible to weld during continuous welding and advancement in the joint with otherwise unchanged welding parameters, followed by a further reduction to a final value of arc voltage and fading of the wire feed rate simultaneously with the arc voltage fading to a final value of the wire feed rate.

Abstract: The present invention describes a two-part oxidative hair dye composition which comprises in one or both component parts at least one polyether polyurethane in combination with at least one cationic conditioning agent. The two component parts of the composition comprise a dye component composition, which includes primary intermediates and couplers, and a developing component composition, which includes an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide. It has surprisingly been found by the present inventors that nonionic polyether polyurethane polymers and cationic conditioning agents contained in the oxidative hair dye compositions of the present invention impart and significantly enhance additional conditioning and rheological benefits to the hair. Other components commonly used in oxidative hair dye products can be added to one or both component parts of the compositions of the present invention. After mixing the two component compositions, the resulting hair dye composition mixture is thick, conveniently applied, and provides superior rheological and conditioning properties to the hair.
